It works better that way ergonomically. Also I really wanted to discourage using any of the tool functions without the sheath in place just for safety reasons.Peter Atwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246505554623368895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-84218965591631597122008-04-08T13:04:00.000-04:002008-04-08T13:04:00.000-04:00Peter, Having used the SharkTooth for a couple of ...Peter, Having used the SharkTooth for a couple of days, it has replaced my MSOPT as my everyday carry. But one question: Have you thought about rearranging the bit storage slot and the hex bit holder so that the latter is close to the blade? That is how the hex hole and slot are oriented on the Ring Leader, and it would (I think) allow someone to use the screw driver even if the sheath is off. It probably wouldnt (I don't think) interfere with the sheath set up you already have.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-79185820588429196452008-04-08T01:30:00.000-04:002008-04-08T01:30:00.000-04:00The Only thing we need now is more Atwood blades ...The Only thing we need now is more Atwood blades to really test this new state of the art process:) What do you say Mister Atwood???

They put the blades in a chamber and add liquid nitrogen gas bringing the temp down to -100F for a period of time. This is for all intents and purposes an artificial aging process and mimics the natural conversion of austentite to martensite that would occur all by itself but very very slowly over 100-200 years or something... I may have the details slightly off as it has been a long time since I read up on it. But basically this is the exact same heat treat you would get if you had the famous Paul Bos do it. In fact, it just may be even better because if you knew where it was done you'd have a coronary.

However, I've been hoping for a shot at a tool with a cutting edge. <BR/><BR/>My question is about the professional heat treating and cryogenic quench. What does this do for the tool/cutting edges? Is it easier to keep the edge sharp longer? Anything special required to resharpen? Is this something you've tried before? Please excuse my ignorance as I'm just curious and it sounds like a nice additional touch for daily hard use.Geomorphologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091726507783262976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128634.post-53002955888958330022008-04-03T12:29:00.000-04:002008-04-03T12:29:00.000-04:00Can't wait to see the sharktooth in person, and I'...Can't wait to see the sharktooth in person, and I'm even more excited to see the ringed version.
